from press release

TROY, N.Y. - The 18th-ranked St. Lawrence men's lacrosse team
outscored Rensselaer 8-0 over a span of 38:14 on its way to an 11-5
win at Harkness Field. With the win, the Saints improve to 9-2
overall (5-0 Liberty League), while the Red Hawks fall to 5-7 (3-2
Liberty).

After Rensselaer took a brief 4-3 lead with 12:46 to play in the
first half, St. Lawrence ran off eight consecutive tallies, before
Red Hawks' junior Brett Evans (New Hartford, NY/New Hartford) was
able to find the back of the net with 1:53 remaining in the
game.

Saints freshman Caldwell Rohrbach (Seattle, WA/Garfield) recorded
three of those goals, including the first with 6:49 left in the
opening half which tied the game at 4-4.

John Allen (Amherst, NY/Amherst) put St. Lawrence up 5-4 with 3:11
left in the half, before Caldwell netted the eventual game-winner
with just over a minute to go. The Saints held a 6-4 advantage at
the break, despite being out-shot 17-15 over the first 30
minutes.

In the second, neither team found the scoresheet until nearly 10
minutes in, when Rohrbach and senior midfielder Peter Carroll
(Pennington, NJ/Hopewell Valley) scored goals less than two minutes
apart to give the visitors an 8-4 lead.

St. Lawrence then got three goals in the fourth quarter, before
Evans was able to net the Red Hawks final tally.

Pacing the Saints offensively was senior midfielder Alex Slauson
(Shelburne, VT/Champlain Valley Union) who had three goals and an
assist for four points. Rohrbach had three goals, while Allen
finished with two goals and an assist.

Rensselaer was led by senior attack Josh Secora (Evergreen,
CO/Golden) who finished with two goals and an assist for three
points. Evans had two goals and freshman Andrew Miller (New
Hartford, NY/New Hartford) recorded two assists.

Saints senior netminder Thomas Hollingsworth (Wilton, CT/Wilton)
earned the win between the pipes, making seven saves. Senior Ryan
DeJordy (Albany, NY/Columbia) had 10 stops at the other end of the
field.

The Red Hawks are back in action next Saturday, when they visit
area-rival Union in their Liberty League regular season finale
(7pm). St. Lawrence visits Cortland State for a non-league game on
Thursday (4pm).
